Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“My son is buried at Mt. Eden, the staff here are very kind and caring people. They also do an excellent job keeping the grounds clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this facility. They are absolutely the best.”
— Angela Carroll
“So much of Hayward's history is buried here! Many families, for whom Hayward's streets are named, have family plots here. Sadly touching is the babies' burial plots all nestled together.”
— Michelle Lemaster
“I’m so disappointed that my grandma had to be buried here. The staff are so deeply uncaring, it’s like they shouldn’t even be working in a place like that. You better hope you don’t need any assistance with anything if your relative is buried here. Sad!”
— Paulina Lipets
